How Would Linus Torvalds' Death Affect Linux?

• wmf 7y ago
  Not much. Somebody like Greg K-H would take over and continue running things as they were. Of course every time there's a bug people would say "this would never have happened in the Linus days".

    > this would never have happened in the Linus days Got quite the chuckle out of me. Thanks!

    "Things were easier and so much more efficient when Linus was here. Now we can't reach consensus on what belongs in the next major revision, and nobody owns up to the bugs from the previous one. It's a disaster. Why does it STILL not support my totally arcane setup? I'm going back to <insert obvious (to you) inf/superior operating system here>" Nothing will change. Linux will live on just fine with everything intact.
